About

The "Shinkankakuha" (New Sensationalist School) was a Japanese literary movement that emerged from the late Taisho to early Showa periods, centered around the literary magazine "Bungei Jidai" (The Age of Literature) founded in October 1924. Along with the Proletarian literature magazine "Bungei Sensen" (Literary Front) founded in June of the same year, it became one of the two major literary trends of that era. Influenced by the avant-garde art movements that arose in Europe after World War I, they rebelled against the Naturalism that sought to depict life as it was, instead advocating for the pursuit of new sensory beauty and psychological truths.

Characters

Yasunari Kawabata

Name: Yasunari Kawabata Library No. 14 Weapon: Blade Standard Outfit Attribute: Water Rarity: Gold Mental State: Slightly Unstable Representative Works: "The Dancing Girl of Izu", "Snow Country" Faction: Shinkankakuha Literary Tendency: Pure Literature Hobbies/Interests: Playing with dogs CV: Tomokazu Seki A man nicknamed "The Magician" for his skillful use of a wide range of styles and new expression techniques. His silence combined with his habit of staring intently gives a frightening impression, but within that gaze, one can glimpse his own kind of kindness. Because he is extremely quiet and possesses a sense of reality that is detached from the world, it should be difficult to grasp his true intentions, but it seems only his close ally Riichi Yokomitsu and you understand him. A young man with pale features who seems to embody the image of "snow" and "winter landscapes." His gaze is sharp enough to be uncharacteristic of a writer, but considering his life, he may have difficulty with his eyesight. He is taciturn and quiet. A person with a mysterious sensibility and sense of style; when he occasionally opens his mouth, expressions that are unimaginable to ordinary people pop out. He is not a confrontational person, but he shows a toughness by forcefully pushing through most complaints just by appealing with his eyes. In a word, he is a delicate, eccentric soul. His close ally Riichi Yokomitsu is the only one who can understand him deeply, but judging from the contents of his friend's letters, communication with other people seems quite difficult. There are many big spenders in the library, but he is top-class among them. He has an eye for art and boasts a considerable aesthetic sense, but he has a bad habit of purchasing things without thinking of the consequences, making him a debt king second only to Takuboku Ishikawa (and he doesn't even have the notion of paying it back). His weapon is a spear with a tip split into two, somewhat resembling a dessert fork. He is not the type to pick fights himself, but because of his habit of staring silently with a sharp gaze, he is disliked by various people. Naturally, this includes Osamu Dazai, with whom he has a feud over the Akutagawa Prize, but everyone seems to be put off to some degree by his peculiar presence. However, his close friend Riichi Yokomitsu, you, and his mentor Kan Kikuchi, who introduced them, understand his difficult-to-approach nature well. Also, he is a passionate fan of Shusei Tokuda, a true early literary master, and frequently sends him fan letters. In his previous life, he was moved by a dialogue they had in his later years, but Tokuda's memory seems to be fading, and he feels sorry for Kawabata. Due to the Akutagawa Prize incident, he is unilaterally hated by Dazai, but he gets along well with Ango Sakaguchi, a fellow Buraiha member, as they are both dog lovers. He also had interactions with Motojiro Kajii during his lifetime, and there is a strange episode where they witnessed a thief together, but Kawabata drove him away with his intense gaze. He is a person who has faced many deaths since childhood. Starting with the death of his parents, he led a tragic life, losing his mentors, close friends, and juniors one after another. To the point where his nickname during his lifetime became "The Master of Funerals." His life ended with a suicide for reasons still unknown today. The sense of loneliness that tormented him throughout his life fostered a fragile spirit that "thinks back on favors received while in bed and quietly gives thanks." In this life as well, though it is hard to tell, he is devoted to those who show him love. He has been good friends with you and Riichi Yokomitsu for a long time.

Riichi Yokomitsu

Name: Riichi Yokomitsu Library No. 029 Weapon: Katana Rarity: Plain Mental State: Normal Representative Works: "The Sun", "The Fly", "Machine" Faction: Shinkankakuha Literary Tendency: Pure Literature Hobbies/Interests: Tea ceremony, traveling CV: Wataru Hatano A literary master once called the "God of Literature." With a serious and stoic nature befitting that title, he never tires of pursuing new literature. He has a special talent for understanding his close ally Yasunari Kawabata just by looking into his eyes, without needing to hear words. He has a habit of using mysterious expressions that seem to personify inorganic objects. He has long, dark purple hair tied in a bunch. He has a unique hairstyle with long bangs cut diagonally. Is his scarf a matching set with his best friend's? A serious and stoic young man who pursues the ideal of new literature. Perhaps to serve as fuel for his writing, he is active in gaining various experiences. Since being reincarnated, he seems to be greatly stimulated by the modern world, which is full of things and concepts that did not exist during his lifetime. Every time he touches something new and is moved, he mutters "New sensation." Because he is too serious, he is sometimes seen as an eccentric by those around him. However, he seems to be unaware of this himself. His weapon, the "Katana," has a shape close to a naginata. He has built strong bonds with his mentor Kan Kikuchi, his lifelong friend Yasunari Kawabata who was introduced by him, and you. Especially with Kawabata, they are close enough to communicate just by looking into each other's eyes without speaking, and he has effectively become his translator. Many of his lines mention Kawabata. Through his connection with Kawabata, he also knows Motojiro Kajii. He is also impressed by Shinpei Kusano's personality and talent and wishes to learn poetry from him. He has been good friends with you and Yasunari Kawabata for a long time.
